Frederick Mold Removal Experts

Any residential or commercial property, home or business, can easily become
contaminated with mold with the simple introduction of a water source,
like a roof or plumbing leak, or a clogged condensate line on your HVAC system.

How long does it take mold to grow?

Mold can rapidly spread throughout a Frederick property, sometimes in as
little as 48 hours if conditions are right, producing allergens and irritants
that have the potential to cause other, sometimes very serious health effects.

If your home or business has a visible mold problem, AdvantaClean of Frederick
will inspect and assess your property, and provide an estimate to take
care of the problem, usually free of charge. If you suspect that you have
mold, but the mold is not visible, AdvantaClean of Frederick can come
to your home or business for a nominal fee to provide an in-depth inspection.
If mold is found, your inspection fee can be credited back to you, when
you choose to have AdvantaClean perform the necessary remediation. At
AdvantaClean we have the training, equipment, and expertise to handle
your mold issues and provide services that will help your home or business
provide a healthy environment.

Can mold be completely eliminated from my Frederick home or business?

What most people do not know about mold is that microscopic mold spores
exist nearly everywhere, indoors as well as outdoors, making it nearly
impossible to remove all mold and mold spores from a home or business.
Some businesses advertise total mold removal or provide a guarantee to
remove all mold, which is nearly impossible and always very highly unlikely.
Since mold and mold spores are present nearly everywhere, even in hospitals
and operating rooms, indoors as well as outdoors, mold can easily attach
itself to your clothing, onto your pet's fur, or be blown into your home
through an open window or just by simply answering the door. For this
reason, we never claim to make an area mold free. We do however guarantee
that we will remove enough mold to bring your home or business into Condition
1 compliance.

Certified Frederick Mold Removal and Mold Remediation: Condition 1

Condition 1 refers to the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration
Certification (IICRC) Standard for Professional Mold Remediation (IICRC
S520) definition of Normal Fungal Ecology: an indoor environment that
may have settled spores, fungal fragments or traces of actual growth whose
identity, location and quantity are reflective of a normal fungal ecology
for a similar environment. An Indoor Air Quality Professional or Certified
Mold Inspector can perform air sampling of the indoor environment under
suspicion and compare the results to that of a control sample (normally
taken from the area just outside the home or business) to determine if
there are elevated levels of specific mold species that may indicate the
need for remediation activities. Results designating Condition 2 (settled
spores): an indoor environment which is primarily contaminated with settled
spores that were dispersed directly or indirectly from a Condition 3 area
and which may have traces of actual growth, or Condition 3 (actual growth):
an indoor environment contaminated with the presence of actual mold growth
and associated spores, would indicate a specific need for mold remediation
to be performed in order to improve the air quality for safe habitation.
Actual growth includes growth that is active or dormant, visible or hidden.

Can the presence of mold cause health problems?

Mold and mold spores have the potential to cause health problems. This
is especially true in the very young and the elderly, or anyone that has
an allergy to the specific species type (think of penicillin), or those
with asthma or other respiratory conditions. Mold produces allergens,
and in some cases, the mold species can potentially produce toxic substances
called mycotoxins. Mycotoxins can cause flu-like symptoms, have long-lasting
neurological effects, or cause a host of other health concerns. Although
children, elderly, and people with compromised immune systems are the
most susceptible, even in healthy adults allergic reactions to mold can
be immediate or take several hours to present. Mold exposure can irritate
the eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs of anyone that has been exposed.
